appetite of the iniml for entertainment la Its
various forms of Narrative, Wit. and Humor,
will not go uncnrcd for. Tin piinllshcra wish
to nay, also, that while native writers will re
ceive the most solid encouragement, and will
he mainly relied on to fill th ft pages of the
Atlantic, 1 liy will not hesitate to draw
from the foreign scources nt their rommand,
at occasion may require, relying rather on the
competency of an author to treat n particular
abject, than on any other claim whatever.
In Ihls way they hope to make their Pctlndi
cal welcome wherever the English tongue ii
poken or read.
Prrovn j In the term AnT they Intend to In

ductors believe to ho the American Idea It
will deal frankly with persons ami wi'.h part
ies, endcavorsngtokeep in view that moral el
ement which transcends all persons and par
ties and which alone makes the basis of a
true Biid lasting national prosperity. It will
not rank Itself with any sect of antif.s, but
with that body of men which are In favor of
Freedom, National Progress, and Honor,
wneiner purine or private.
As nn earnest or the material nt. their com
mand, they subjoin the following; lint of litera
ry persons interested in their enterprise j wish
ing it however to be distinctly understood,
that they shall hope for support from every
kind ofabilllty which desires the avenue of
their columns, and In the remuneration of
which they shall he guided purely by their
aensn of intrinsic merit!

Send in your orders soon, as we expect our
list for 1857 will reach 100,000 copies. The
best plan of subscribing is to send your money
direct to the publisher. Those who sen'd
large amounts had better send drafts, but
notes will answer if drafts cannot be pro
cured. We think we can show how much cheaper
it is to take the Lady's Book at Three Dol
lars than any other magazine at Two Dollars.
We will take a late number of both. The
Two Dollar Magazine contained 3d articles,
the Lady's Book 2,
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 32 en
gravings, the Lady's Book 5ft.
The Two Dollar Magazine contained 61 pa
ges, the Lady's Book 100.
Twenty-four more engravings, twenty six
more articles, and thirty-Bix more pages,
nearly double the quantity. The lowest club
price of the Two Dollar Magazine Is $1,25;
lowest club price of Lady's Book $1,67, only
12 cents difference in the price, which is three
and a half cents on each number, and for that
sum (three and a half cents), you receive
twenty-six more articles, twenty-four more
engravings, and thirty-six more pages month
ly certainly a very cheap three and a half
cents' worth. Tins view of the case has
probably never before been presented, but it is
a true statement, which any lady can con
vince herself of by comparing the two maga
zines. TERMS, CASH IN ADVANCE.
One copy, one year, $3. Two copies, one
year, $5. Three copies, ons year, 6.

Entering Town Sites.
The following correspondence will shoe,
that the act of the last Legislature of toe
Territory, designating the County Commis
sioner, a. the proper persons to enter Town
Sitee, is not recognized by the Commissioner
of the Land Office.
It ie a question of doubt whether the Judge,
of Probate, or the United States Judges.can
be regarded as "Judges of the County Court."
A. soon a. that doubt i. removed, notice wi.l
be given. In the mean time no entering of
towns not incorporated can be made-.
A copy of the act of the last Legielatuie
will be placed in the hands of the Commis
sioner, and. under the circumstances,. the en
trie, already made may be confirmed..
